The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 256 Unexpected Situations

After all, Konoha has lost too much talent in recent years, and the strength of the intelligence team, defense forces and even civilian ninjas is much weaker than in the original work.

Six Paths Pain had originally intended to disrupt Konoha's defenses with summoned beasts and missiles, hoping to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's location. Unexpectedly, Konoha was now unable to even stop the giant summoned beasts from the Animal Path.

The original disturbance almost turned into a war of annihilation!

The overly smooth invasion operation made Nagato a little too excited, and he even drove several summoned beasts directly towards the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was already fuming at the intrusion. This anger, combined with the resentment he had accumulated over the years, including the damage to his reputation and the partial destruction of his family, had driven him a little overboard.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen put on his combat uniform, cheered up, and led his team out of the Hokage Building. As soon as he came out, he saw a huge rhino knocking down several buildings and rushing towards him.

The roads in Konoha were broken and exploded like rotten soil under the rhinoceros' hooves, and many Konoha villagers were even trampled into meat paste in its path.

"Earth Escape. Earth Flowing River"

"Fire Style. Fire Dragon Flame Bullet"

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed seals with his hands, and a rolling river of mud and a raging fire dragon appeared out of thin air and mixed together to form a lava river, which instantly submerged the giant rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros instinctively roared and struggled to escape from the lava flow, but this river of fire was not only extremely hot, but also contained a strong sucking force. The rhinoceros finally fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

Seeing their own Hokage charging in the lead, and the ninjutsu he used was so powerful and impressive, the eyes of the Anbu ninjas and civilian ninjas following behind Sarutobi Hiruzen brightened a little, and the dejected and dead aura on their bodies dissipated a little.

The villagers on both sides of the street who were almost trampled by the rhinoceros rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen with all their might. When passing by him, they did not forget to praise and thank him loudly, as if they had completely forgotten the slander and curses they had felt towards him in their hearts over the years.

"Mighty Hokage-sama!"

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama, you must destroy the enemy and defend Konoha!"

The villagers' grateful and sincere thanks warmed up Sarutobi Hiruzen's increasingly cold heart. He couldn't help but recall his youthful passion when he first became Hokage, and it seemed as if he had regained his youth.

With his blood boiling, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly waved his hand, "You retreat behind me, someone will take you to the shelter soon. As for those criminals who invaded Konoha Village, as the Hokage, I will never let them go!"

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement, the nearby Konoha villagers wanted to say a few more words to express their respect, but suddenly they started howling and ran back, shouting, "Centipede, there's a centipede!"

After watching the Konoha villagers leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned back calmly, only to see two giant centipedes approaching, knocking down buildings along the way. They crossed and swept towards him a few dozen meters away, like a pair of sharp scissors, trying to cut him and the other Konoha ninjas in half.

Konoha was in chaos, with explosions ringing everywhere. The sound of blood and fire filled Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and ears, reminding him of the battlefields of his youth. Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened his body, regaining some of his heroic spirit.

"I am the Hokage, and I will protect Konoha. Monkey King, Diamond Rod!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed hand seals to summon the summoned beast, the Monkey King, and transformed it into a giant staff. Sarutobi Hiruzen's seemingly aged body erupted with terrifying power, wielding the Vajra Ruyi Staff with such force and swiftness that the attacking centipede was instantly severely damaged, its body broken into pieces.

The large spiritual beast had strong vitality and was not seriously injured even after suffering such a severe blow. Two giant centipedes sprayed blood in the air. They roared and swung their broken bodies around, knocking down buildings one after another.

"Thunder Release. Four Pillar Binding Technique"

An Anbu stepped forward and performed a ninjutsu. Four giant stone pillars suddenly rose into the air and surrounded the centipede. At the same time, endless lightning shot out, crisscrossing the centipede's body, making it lose the ability to move for a while.

With the cooperation of the Anbu, the centipede beasts were restricted in their movements. With a flash of blood in his eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen struck the centipedes with his golden cudgel at a speed so fast that it was like pounding garlic. Before the two centipedes could even wail a few times, they were reduced to dozens of pieces of waste under Sarutobi Hiruzen's attack!

Having just resolved the immediate problem, Sarutobi Hiruzen barely had time to catch his breath when he felt another threat approach. Looking up, he saw a giant bird with a sharp beak circling in the sky, occasionally dropping eggs from the air. These eggs would violently explode upon landing, with a force far more powerful than even a detonating tag.

“What the hell is this!”

Seeing the giant bird throwing explosive eggs everywhere, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"Water escape. Water breaking wave!"

A clear and inconspicuous line of water came out from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, then shot into the air, aiming directly at the Yatagarasu that was throwing eggs.

The water line approached at a rapid speed, and soon reached the Yatagarasu. Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he had succeeded, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Sarutobi Hiruzen's attack path, opened his arms and aimed at the water line. The next moment, under Sarutobi Hiruzen's horrified gaze, the water wave shrank smaller and smaller in the enemy's palm, and was soon completely absorbed!

"What a strange ability!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried when he saw the enemy that suddenly appeared. There were so many Konoha ninjas around him. Just one fireball from each of them could burn the enemy to ashes!

However, the scenario Sarutobi Hiruzen had envisioned, where the ANBU ninja would aid him in the attack, overwhelming the enemy with a massive wave of attacks, hadn't occurred. Just now, they had teamed up to fight a giant dog. No matter how hard they attacked, the dog wouldn't die. Furthermore, its numbers were increasing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw the futile attack of the Anbu ninjas at this moment. He confronted several enemies in black-bottomed fire cloud uniforms that suddenly appeared while giving orders.

"Send someone to notify the Sealing Squad. Temporarily trap the dog and let them seal it!"

......

In a secret place outside Konoha Village, Konan received the message sent back by the paper clone and asked in confusion.

"Nagato, didn't we agree to focus on reconnaissance? Why is it now a violent attack? Konoha Village has too many people, and it's not worth it to waste time with them."

call

Nagato took a deep breath, his expression peculiar. "I didn't expect the situation to develop like this. Perhaps it's because Konoha's resistance was unexpectedly weak, and those summoned beasts unconsciously rushed to the center of Konoha. But this is also a good thing. Making this matter a big will attract more people. Konan, take this opportunity to investigate."

"I will intensify my investigation," Konan nodded and continued, "But Nagato, you'd better be cautious. There's no rush for revenge. As long as the tailed beast weapons are completed, Konoha will be at your mercy!"
